I am myself very interested in Roman coinage and of course do a bit of metal detecting, and like yourself I am aware that the reverse types of coins are what tell us the story or the propaganda that is being put forward.
Those are very interesting indeed however I do wonder if the artist craftsman who made the dies and sets was trying to put forward a more clasical style in the armour, apart from the republican coin that is for we are in fact here into the fourth century.
